Stumbled across an interesting adapter:

http://www.trianglecables.com/1footvgadbma.html

Given the photo and the price, I assume this is just a
cable without any electronics such as a scan converter.

Is there some way to program a video chip to put out NTSC video
instead of the usual RGBHV?  If not, what would one use this
fine adapter for?
